+## Intro
+This post documents the snowfall at my house in Denver, CO during the winter storm Xylia from Friday March 12, 2021 through Sunday March 14, 2021.
+
+It started with some brief rain on the 13th around 11AM, then snow, then it all melted by 3PM. Snow dabbled on and off until 1AM on the 14th, which is when things really started picking up. We went from 2" on the ground at 1AM to 12" by noon ~ about an inch an hour! My external battery bank died (I [went snowboarding](TODO:strava) and neglected to swap in some new batteries beforehand) to around this time. The next picture I took was at 10PM when we had about 16".
+
+## TLDR
+Denver metro received ~16" of snow in ~12 hours from 1AM March 14th, 2021 to noon on the same day.
+TODO: Is this a record of some sort?
+
+## Graph
+TODO: Create and add graph along with downloadable .csv file
+
+## Outro
+16" is a lot for metro denver!
+
+> Note that some people refer to this as 32" of snowfall: 16" in the front yard, 16" in the back yard
+>
+> Also note that when I say "some people", I am referencing one person. I don't think that is actually a thing.
